IEC and ISO is publishing the Technical Specification 80004 Nanotechnology – Vocabulary. This is a multipart standard on nanotechnology terminology and
nomenclature systems. All aspects of the 80004 vocabulary series will be taken into consideration and draft OWL 2
ontologies will be developed for the subdomain electrotechnical products and systems, and for the subdomain photonic components and systems:
